S&P 500 Emini Futures Day Trading THE GAP

S&P 500 Emini Day Trading Gap Tuesday April 13, 2010

S&P Emini 500 Futures traded in an extremely narrow 5 point trading range today.  Volume  was light at 1.25 million contracts.  Direction is still up, but shows a great deal of weakness with the lack of volume.  The index may still test 1200, but expect strong resistance at that level.  The daily averages are moving in a bullish sweep on the daily chart with volatility constricting.  It still looks to correct to the downside sharply after a test of the 1200 level.

S&P Emini 500 Futures continued it’s inexorable march to the 1200 level on Friday.  The low volume up trend is beginning to worry analysts.  A local newspaper article from a national source quoted a well known market analyst who is wary of the lofty highs the market is attaining, since volume is low.  Friday scored a new high on well under average volume.  The emini’s may continue to the 1200 level, but it certainly is time to insure the downside of any longer term portfolio.   Day traders, however, will continue to do our thing, trade the signals, and be in cash every evening.
